What Causes Discomfort In The Left Knee And Foot?

I got a bruise on my left forearm 8 days ago with a possible bug bite in the middle of the bruise. I then had a pain in 1 spot behind the left shoulder blade that lasted for 2 days that seemed like a sports injury from lifting. Then I had pain from swelling in my left hand that started 6 days ago. Although that has subsided it moved up to the left wrist which limited range of motion due to swelling. Now I have slight discomfort in my left knee and down to left foot. I have been applying ice and taking occasional Tylenol. I had a slight heart attack 6 months ago and on Plavix, beta blocker and baby aspirin. I am feeling well and got great report from my cardiologist 1 month ago. Do I need to see a doctor?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to knee pain due to the overuse. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I recommend cold compresses for relieve. I also recommend to maintain the area immobilized and avoid activities that can trigger the symptoms.

Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Regards,
